My parents own over a dozen rental properties right now. My brother is banking on that being his retirement. I've been telling them to sell it all and buy dad a new Vette, sell their place and buy the riverfront house my mom has always wanted, and they should both travel more.

My mom would like to go visit her family more. Especially since in another 5 years or so, travel that far is going to be very difficult.

Tell your parents to get everything in a trust, and with great deal. More detail the better. |

Yeah I know. My dad doesn't think that way though so he isn't worried about it. But he doesn't know my brother thinks my parents owe him for writing a letter to my uncle to get into construction, when really my dad and uncle have been friends since high school.

of course it's not enforceable, but it's a good point to specifically call out the people one doesn't want getting things in the will, as the lack of mention is usually what all the contention is always over.

Bob Barker 4 life!
i feel like this should be the default for everyone, and you need to file an application to get it reversed...

100% though I do wonder if this would "free" some people to be even more horrible than they are today...

My old boss at the motorcycle shop used to say this. His idea was you had to apply, then you had to take care of a pet for a couple years first, then take a test, then be approved. He would go on long rants on it, it was always funny.
